Ads linked to this vendor

None. An ad is linked only when a person verified it from a source naming both, or when this was the only digital vendor its sponsor paid in the week before and while it ran — the FEC does not record which buy placed which ad, so this is not evidence that the vendor made no ads.

Every Schedule E independent expenditure names a payee. Payee strings are normalised (case, punctuation, legal suffixes, token order), near-duplicates are folded with a difflib ratio ≥ 0.92 when their numeric tokens match, and hand alias rows from data/hand/<race>/vendor_aliases.json override the rule. Medium is classified from the purpose the spender filed (ordered keyword table in campaign_commons/vendors.py). The FEC does not record which buy placed which ad: vendor ↔ ad links are date-window adjacency (or single-digital-vendor inference) from campaign_commons.ads_enrich, each with its basis, and are only `verified` when a person found a source naming both. Totals are the filed amounts, grouped, never re-estimated.

Money and positions are shown side by side because they are public records about the same person. Proximity is not causation; we make no claim that any contribution produced any action.
